Device name renaming to “Este iPhone”

My phone seemed to act weird all of a sudden today for a few minutes I couldn’t send any texts and on the image below it changed from “This IPhone” to “Este IPhone” I know they mean the same thing. All of the other language in my phone was showing in English. Why would just that change momentarily?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

If your iCloud backup is referring to your iPhone as "Este iPhone," it could be due to a language setting or localization issue. "Este iPhone" is the Spanish translation for "This iPhone." Here are a few possible explanations:


  1. Check the language settings on your iPhone to ensure that it is set to your preferred language. Go to Settings > General > Language & Region and verify that your language preference is selected correctly. If it is set to Spanish, change it to your desired language.
  2. In addition to language settings, make sure your region settings are also set correctly. Go to Settings > General > Language & Region, and under "Region," ensure that your current region is selected accurately.
  3. It's possible that the language and region settings on your iCloud account are different from those on your iPhone. To check your iCloud account settings, go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud, and ensure that the language and region settings are aligned with your preferences.
  4. Log in to https://appleid.apple.com/ with your Apple ID credentials and check the country there.
